About
Oh hey — I’m Kristen.
I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a real passion for helping people optimize their health and performance using evidence-based research and practice. My background is a little unusual: I started in Psychology before my degrees in Dietetics and Human Nutrition, which turns out to be enormously useful, because most of what gets in the way of eating well isn’t information — it’s everything else going on in your life.
I’ve worked in sports nutrition, hypertrophy, weight gain, weight loss, and improving your overall relationship with food if you struggle with disordered eating (full disclosure: been there). Whatever your goal is, we will reach it together. Your journey is my journey and I can’t wait to embark on it with you.
Where I’ve worked
Three very different rooms, one job.
Performance, hospital bedside, and someone’s kitchen table. They ask for different things, and I’d argue you want a dietitian who has stood in all three.
Fueling people who ask a lot of their bodies
I work full-time as the Performance Dietitian at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, Texas, alongside Cognitive Performance Specialists and Strength and Conditioning Coaches, making sure training, recovery, mental well-being and physical health are all dialed in for our pilots.
Before that I worked with the dietitian at Exos in Gulf Breeze, Florida, with NFL Combine athletes, free agents, pro baseball and rugby players, youth athletes and Special Forces members — body composition testing, individualized meal plans, hydration testing, and re-assessing as training changed.
Nutrition when health is already on the line
I have extensive experience in acute care hospitals and long-term care facilities. Nutrition plays a shockingly big role in whether you develop certain chronic diseases — and if you’re already dealing with one, it’s one of the best tools we have to make you stronger and healthier.
Healing wounds, lowering an A1C, getting blood pressure under control, and the whole long list of other concerns that walk through the door: nutrition is a lever in all of them. Let’s tackle it together.
The part I love most
I love working with clients one-on-one in a setting where they feel comfortable, because that’s how you build enough trust to actually talk about the struggles, the wins, and what to do next. One size very much does not fit all when it comes to lifestyle changes.
I’ve had clients who wanted to gain weight, lose weight, change body composition, or build a healthier relationship with food. You name it, I have a different approach to it — and we only make changes you’re ready for.
“This isn’t a quick fix or a crash diet. It’s learning to listen to your body, seeing how it responds to change, and adapting as we go.”How I coach
